Components of Ventilated Facades

Substrate/wall
Wall element which already meets the
necessary air tightness and mechanical
strength requirements. There are sev-
eral types of substrates/walls.
a. Heavy weight
walls/structures
Masonry walls – which are constructed
from units (blocks or bricks) of clay,
concrete, calcium silicate, aerated
concrete or stone. They are mounted
together using concrete mortar or ad-
hesive.
Concrete walls – walls made of con-

crete either cast in situ or prefabricated
at the factory.
b. Light weight
walls/structures
The air tightness of such structures
has to be secured with the help of air/
vapor barrier which is placed from the
internal side of the wall.
Timber frame – walls made of
wood-based materials such as studs
and beams.
Metal frame – wall made of steel or
aluminum alloy profiles. Light weight structure

Frame or sub frame

An assembly of vertical and horizontal
profiles made of wood or metal and
they are placed in between the wall
and finishing material or cladding of
the final façade.
Thermal insulation
Paroc® Stone wool insulation,
placed between the frame studs or
installed directly to the wall and fixed
with the fasteners. Air gaps should be
avoided between the insulation and
the wall as well as between several lay-
ers of thermal insulation. The thick-
ness of the insulation should be in
accordance with the National building
codes.

tect from the wind coming from the
outside. During installation of wind
protection, pay more attention to the
corners of the building, where the dif-
ference in wind pressure between both
sides can be great.
Ventilated air space

A layer of air between the wind protec-
tion layer and cladding elements of
the façade, which purpose is to remove
the excess moisture from the structure
and to ventilate away any rain water
that has penetrated and to prevent it
from reaching other moisture sensi-
tive construction components. The air
space should be at least 25 mm wide
and must not be packed with lath or
mortar remains.

of the building envelope safeguards
against the air infiltration through
structure. The air seal must be planned
in a way allowing uninterrupted in-
stallation throughout the outer shell.
Penetrations through air seal should
be avoided. Requirements for the air
tightness of the building are given in
the National building regulations.
Built wind tight – in order to
minimize the effect of forced convec-
tion, proper wind barrier has to be
used on top on thermal insulation.
We recommend using wind protec-
tion slabs which has special covering
with good wind protection properties.
The requirements for the air perme-
ability of the wind barrier are given
in the building regulations. For ex-
ample in Finland, the maximum air
permeability factor of wind barrier is
lk < 10 · 10-6 m³/m² s Pa.
Protect against moisture – It is im-
portant that thermal insulation is pro-
tected against outside moisture as well
as the moisture coming from inside of
the building. The moisture travelling
from warm area to colder area may
condensate on cold surfaces, therefore
the wall has to be designed in such
a way that excess of moisture is eas-
ily removed from the wall. The wind
protection layer should also have suffi-
ciently high moisture transfer capabil-
ity to avoid water vapor condensation.

Ventilated Facades – Solutions

The solutions for Ventilated Facades
are recommended depending on the
type of the building. We have devel-
oped solutions for individual houses,
multi-storey buildings and industrial
buildings. Solutions for ventilated
façades has to be designed and chosen
to fulfill U-value requirements, fire
requirements, should be air and wind
tight and prevent moisture condensa-
tion within the structure. In addition,
especially in colder climates, the insu-
lation should be able to minimize or
even eliminate the effect of thermal
bridges caused by components, such as
concrete, steel or wooden studs, that
pass through the various layers of the
wall structure.

Individual Houses. Timber Frame Walls

One of the most popular types of walls
for building individual houses is tim-
ber frame walls. Timber frame struc-
ture is used for carrying the load as
well as for thermal insulation layer. In-
sulation layer of PAROC® eXtra™ has
to fill the space between wooden studs.
Wall made of timber frame wall has to
be designed so that it meets structural
requirements, has proper U-value,
and is air and wind tight and does not
accumulate moisture inside the struc-
ture. Different type of cladding may be
used for timber frame walls. A ventila-
tion gap is placed behind the cladding
and opening in the wall has to ensure
good ventilation level. Therefore we
recommend the use of wind protec-
tion insulation, such as PAROC®
WPS 3n or PAROC® WPB 3n on top
of the studs as external continuous
thermal insulation layer. This continu-
ous layer reduces significantly cold
bridges and the amount of moisture
on the timber studs. The seams of
wind protection slabs have to be tight-
ened with tape (PAROC® XST 020
or PAROC® XST 021). The inside air
tightness is ensured with sealed air/
vapor barrier. Both inside and outside
air tightness is essential in this type of
structure.

timber Frame Walls

This basic form of ventilated timber
wall contains just the most important
components of a layered wall structure.
The insulation is installed to the tim-
ber frame. Wind protection is made
 by using plaster board with sealed
seams. The ventilation gap is usually
formed by using timber size in size
 of 22×100 mm horizontally or with

Individual Houses. Massive Walls

Next popular solutions for individual
houses are when supporting wall is
made of concrete, various type of
blocks or bricks. Massive walls for
individual houses has to be designed
so that it meets structural require-
ments, has proper U-value, and is air
and wind tight and does not accu-
mulate moisture inside the structure.
A ventilation gap is placed behind
the cladding and opening in the wall
has to ensure good ventilation level.
Therefore we recommend the use of
wind protection insulation, such as
PAROC® WPS3n or PAROC® WPB3n
on top of the studs as external con-
tinuous thermal insulation layer. This
continuous layer reduces significantly
cold bridges and the amount of mois-
ture on the timber studs. The seams of
wind protection slabs have to be tight-
ened with tape (PAROC® XST 020 or
PAROC® XST 021).

Multi-storey Buildings
The requirements for multi-storey
building concerning wind protection
and fire protection are much higher
than in other type of the buildings.
Therefore we have developed the pre-
mium solution for Ventilated Facades
which can meet high demands for
wind and fire protection. This solu-
tion can be used for insulation of the
façades for buildings which are located
in windy areas (open areas or cost line)
and multi-storey buildings.
Premium solution for ventilated fa-
çades consists of those products:
PAROC® Cortex™ or PAROC®
Cortex One™ – stone wool insulation
slabs.
PAROC® XST 020 – tape for wind
tightening of the joints of the thermal
insulation.
PAROC® XST 021 – tape for wind

Industrial Buildings
This is typical solution for industrial
buildings and warehouses. The thermal
resistance of the structure can be
significantly improved by adding
continuous wall insulation layer to the
top of the studs to prevent the thermal
bridges. In buildings where the
indoor air conditions are demanding;
for example high humidity and/or
temperature, it is especially important
to design a proper, tight vapour barrier
and adequate ventilation of the façade.
